He joked about going across country nonstop. " Hopefully." Anderson said. 'I'll be back. but I obviously don't control that." The laid-back big nian whose rocket right arm led the Browns to I 0 victories and helped restore pride to a franchise that had g~ne from laudable to laughable in the past few . years. wasn't sure of his future. Nobody seemed to be. An unexpected season of last-second wins, regrettable losses. personal · breakthroughs and points galore in Cleveland ended just a little short of the postseason. The Browns, who went 4-12 last season and weren't expected to do much better in '07, finished I 0-6 but were shut out of the AFC playoffs. • But while Cleveland fans swallowed another serving of sports heartbreak, the B'rowns handled the disap· pointment in stride. "It was a positive season," nose tackle Shaun Smith said. "We had to face some negativity all year, but look at us now. We're a team that showed we can play in this league and that's what we can build on." The Browns are about to embark on an importaht off. season with several crucial decisions, none bigger than at quarterback. Anderson, the former sixth-round pick who began '07 as Charlie · Frye's backup and ended it as a Pro Bowl alternate, is scheduled to become a restricted free agent. The team has several options with Anderson, who passed for 3J87 yards and 29 touchdowns but also had 19 ·interceptions. Complicating matters is that Brady Quinn, he of the Notre Dame · pedigree and runw;~y model looks, is also on Cleveland's roster as the ·Browns gave up their 2008 first-round draft pick to get him. As '08 beckons, the Browns have a quarter"back dilemma big time. Around here. Anderson or Quinn is as big as Clinton or Obama. And i£ a small sampling of . Cleveland's locker room is any indication, the Browns are divided. "I don't believe there's a · AP photo Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn fires a pass in the second quarter of an NFL football game against the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday in Cleveland. The Browns rookie got his first taste of regular season action in relief of Derek Anderson. quarterback controversy," wide receiver Joe Jurevicius said. "I don't buy into that. I just think Derek Anderson's pur man." A few feet away, tight end Kellen Winslow seemed to side with Quinn. "We drafted the guy," he said. "He's probably going to play. Derek's a great guy, bin that's just the way this business works." Surely, the Browns are developing a game plan for Anderson's situation. They can tender him . a $2.5 million deal for next year. If another club offers Anderson a better deal, the Browns can either match it or receive first- and thirdround draft picks from that team as compensation. The club can also place a "franchise tag" on Anderson, meaning his 2008 salary would be the average of the league's five highestpaid QBs. Any team wanting Anderson then would have 10 surrender (wo ftrst-round picks. Also, the Browns can sign the 24~-old Anderson to a lli'ilg-term contract, but that would seem unlikely after just one quality season. For now, Anderson, goodnatured and goofy, says he isn't sweating it. Cleveland has grown on him and he wants to stay. "I really like it here. I kind of enjoy it. I like my teamJI~ates, .I like the city and part of me doesn't want to move," he said.

The Ravens went from 133 in 2006'to 5-11 in 2007, in part because of injuries to Steve McNair, Kyle Boller, Todd Heap, Ray Lewis, Trevor Pryce, Chris McAli>ter, Samari Rolle, Jonathan Ogden and even kick returner B.J.
